Autonomous Cars: An insight to the futuristic automation

  Vinayak Malhotra

Transportation is an integral part of our daily life. Present transportation condition mandates altering the face of motoring and delivering major assistances for road safety, social inclusion, toxic emissions and congestion. This has directed active research efforts to address these evergrowing momentous issues. Driverless vehicle technology has the potential to be a tangible propulsion amendment on the roads. The synchronized development of a combination of technologies has brought about this prospect. Developments in vehicle automation technology in the short and medium term is likely to move us closer to the ultimate scenario of automation which is completely “driverless”. An illustration of autonomous technology is the production of current vehicles with adaptive cruise control and lane keeping technologies which allow the automated control of acceleration, braking and steering for periods of time in congested traffic. Advanced emergency braking systems automatically apply the brakes to help drivers avoid a collision. Self-parking systems allow a vehicle to parallel or Reverse Park completely hands free. The next step is the introduction of vehicles in which the driver can choose whether they want to drive or not. Present work, reviews the initialization in analyzing, understanding and developing a strategy to ensure to capture these potential benefits while maintaining excellent road safety record. The work documents the need and impact of an autonomous car on society through thorough evaluation of the socio-economic effect, the benefits and economic savings. Primary key controlling parameters viz., impact on safety, traffic flow, fuel economy, and professional driving culture are the important aspects discussed in this work. The results indicate that the selfdriving cars presents encouraging prospective to make driving easier thus, allowing people to be more productive and offer greater mobility ever before. The technology will also help improve road safety, reduce emissions, and ease congestion. As a result, they could provide significant economic, environmental and social benefits.
